Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site — Attraction in Alberta

I absolutely loved this historical site!!! There is soooo much history to learn or relearn. I loved the fact that they had knowledgeable employees throughout showing you the history, tools, housing and all around way of life!

All the questions we asked about the history and traditions, tools and equipment, people and heritage answered so professionally by even the youngest of staff/volunteers. Will definitely be returning....maybe to experience night in tepee or...
